PLTW Design Process Review

Front

Is the first step in the design process. Includes the problem being identified, validated, and justified. The design requirements are determined and the design brief is created.

Back

define the problem

Front

This step in Design process includes researching past solutions and brainstorming possible new solutions. You come up with lots of ideas and then pick one.

Back

generate concepts

Front

This step in Design process includes creating a detailed design solution and detailed technical drawings.

Back

develop solution

Front

This step in Design process includes building a testable prototype, testing it for performance/usability/durability, collecting the data, analyzing the data, and creating a test report of the findings. What is this step?

Back

construct and test a prototype

Front

This step in Design process includes evaluating the solution's effectiveness, reflecting on design, making recommendation for improvements of the design, and revising design documents.

Back

evaluate solution

Front

This is the last step in the Design process and is when the project portfolio is shared usually during a formal presentation.

Back

present solution
